About me

I started writing for them. I want to teach them something
meaningful, I want to encourage and prepare them. I didn't plan on what
it would do for me, how often I would become the student.

At
26 years old and 3 years newly married, we thought we'd jump big.
After buying a large real estate company with an operation of over 75
people it became our entire existence. Working over 60 hours a week in
those first few years, I still refer to the company as our first baby.
There was so much to learn.

In the year 2007,
at 30 years old, we welcomed our daughter Ava to the world. Life would
never be the same. This is when my perspective started to change,
where I began learning more from them than I sought out to teach.This is the story of my experience on this journey, the memories and reflections of everyday life.

I want to remember what it was like getting to
know them. I want to
share the story of my
experience and perspective with them. Leaving a
successful career to
be at home wasn't easy for me. Until I went back
to
work, I needed something else.
During a trying first
year of motherhood, I started
writing to spend more
time focusing on what was good.
I found comfort and company in a lonely space, a voice inside wanting to
be heard. Now, I write to escape from
the busyness of
everyday life. I'm on a quest to learn something
worth teaching.
